That's preposterous.
You are entitled to your opinion...and I'm just exercising mine.
Cheers!
Whats outrageous is your obfuscation of Howlins posting history on FR.
Before the 2003 California recall election, I might have agreed with you that Howlin was just being a "tough woman", "opinionated" but not a "bully". OTOH, she was always meanspirited. Believe it or not, there was a time when Howlin and I saw eye to eye on many issues.
That all changed when Arnie Schwarzy entered the 2003 California Recall Eelection. Before Schwarzy decided to run for governor lotsa FReepers seemed to abide by the conservative agenda of Free Republic more often. That all began to change around August 2003 when Schwarzy`s promoters began spreading his liberal RINO politics all over this forum. The short campaign time frame didn't help matters, in everyones rush to judgment about Arnold being some kind of fiscal cosnervative.
In addition, that political event was directly responsible for the significant rise in Rudy Giuliani`s liberal pop culture popularity in the national party politics of the GOP. I'm convinced that election outcome led to the current set of circumstances that exists on FR today, or should I say did exist until JimRob`s recent spring cleaning effort started in earnest. Whereby another liberal Republican, is attempting to undermine the conservative roots of the GOP in an effort to secure its presidential nomination.
Just my opinion. Whether you agree with it or not is not important. I know its true and that is all that matters.
